"Fuck!" Zhao Hu couldn't help but cursed: "This door can't be pushed open at all. How are we going to get in?"
Before I could say anything, Pigtail hurriedly said: "I remember that when we were visiting the hall with Master before, we also encountered a tomb door similar to this kind of stone door. It was the tomb of the Qing Dynasty. Do you remember it? There was a self-made stone door behind it. He was holding the stone, so he removed the stone and went in. Why don't we also check to see if the stone is inside and knock it out for him?"
Zhao Hu nodded: "I think it will work. This method is fine."
The tapstone they call is actually the top door stone.
In order to prevent the tomb from being stolen, the ancients would set a capstone behind the door. One end of the capstone is stuck in the groove on the ground, and the other end is stuck under the bulge behind the door. It is okay to pull the door outward, but push the door inward. , will be tightly stuck by the top door stone and cannot be pushed at all.
To deal with this kind of tomb door, there are generally two methods, either to find a strong wooden board to push the stone back, or to use a tool called a "nail key", which is made of very hard wire. It is made in the shape of a question mark. It is inserted through the crack of the door and then hooked on the tap stone to pull it down.
But both of these methods have to have a premise, that is, the door must be an opening and closing door, it must have a door shaft, and it must be pushable from the outside in.
As for the stone door we are facing now, I knew it was a door of death at first glance because there was no door axis.
To be on the safe side, I also found a few stone bars to stand on the door, then stepped up and looked at the two corners above the door.
There are gaps in these two corners. I put a thin steel wire into the gap and checked it. I didn't encounter any obstruction. This basically verified my guess. This is a dead door. Without a door axis, it cannot be opened. Compatible.
If you want to enter this kind of tomb, you must directly knock down or destroy the door.
But as I just said, the weight of this door must be several tons. It is impossible to push it down. Besides, if nothing else happens, there will be stone bars blocking it inside.
I then took a flashlight and looked at the crack of the door, and sure enough I found two horizontal stone bars, one at the top and one at the bottom. They were almost thirty centimeters wide, and they were probably very thick stone bars.
I thought that with these two stone bars blocking it, we might not be able to push it further.
"How do we build an army? Do you see a way out? How do we get in?" Zhao Hu asked me at this time.
I shook my head and said: "This is a dead door. The door is blocked directly with two large stone slabs, and then two stone bars are used as door latches to be stuck at the back. Your master's method will not work at all."
"Huh? There are two latches at the back?"
Zhao Hu took a flashlight and took a careful look. When he saw the door latch, he was a little surprised and asked me: "Then the door latch must be hung from the inside. Is it possible that when the door was sealed, there were still workers inside?"
I would not rule out this possibility.
"Don't the workers know that they will die inside? Are they willing to die?"
I said it was unclear, maybe the builder threatened their family, or promised them some benefits, or maybe there were other passages inside that could ensure they got out alive.
Zhao Hu continued to ask: "Then what should we do now? This stone strip looks quite big. If the chain saw is still there, I can insert the saw blade in and cut off the door latch and try to push the door open, but now we don't have the chain saw." Well, you can’t just slowly carve out the stone door, right? Carve a hole in the door?”
Naturally, Little Pigtail took this opportunity to scold Brother Lei again, blaming him for losing the chain saw.
Brother Lei knew he was in the wrong, so he just stood by and said nothing.
Actually, we could dig the hole directly, but it would take too much time and energy. When I was thinking about other methods, Sister Yuan gave me an idea.
She said that the supplies she brought contained explosives, and we could use the explosives to blow open the door, even if it made a hole so we could get in.
Blasting up tombs with explosives is a common method used by modern tomb robbers.
This method is simple and crude, and very time-saving. However, the biggest hidden danger is that the movement caused by the explosion is too loud, which can be easily discovered by others.
Of course, we don't need to worry about this now in the deep mountains and old forests.
I said okay, let's blow it up with dynamite.
Xiao Ye also asked me at this time if I wanted to look for other passages, maybe I could get into the tomb passage or tomb chamber from other places.
I said that this mountain is a stone mountain, and it is unrealistic to use a Luoyang shovel to explore it. Unless we know the exact location and exit of the passage, there is nothing we can do.
She said just blow up the door.
Because we were worried that the explosives would not be powerful enough and the stone door was too thick after all, we first dug a small hole in the lower right corner of the stone door and then installed a detonator inside to ensure maximum effect.
When everything was ready, we hid far away and let Zhao Hu, who had experience in detonating, detonate it.
Soon, a deafening sound came, and I even felt the mountains shaking, because there was a valley on the opposite side, and the explosion echoed in the valley, and smoke several meters high was also raised from the tomb door.
When the smoke dissipated a little, we hurriedly walked over. At this time, a hole had been blown open in the lower right corner of the tomb door. Although the hole was not big, the lower part of the tomb door was severely damaged, and there were cracks in some places. We just used After a few random hits with the steel drill, the crack opened directly, and the opening naturally formed a big hole.
"Haha, it's better to use explosives. It saves you a lot of effort." Zhao Hu said excitedly.
He walked to the cave entrance first and shined a flashlight inside.
But the smoke inside was still filled at this time, and the visibility was very low, so it was difficult to see clearly what was going on.
I'm also afraid that there might be some danger inside, such as a mechanism or something, so I would like to ask everyone not to rush in and wait for a while.
While waiting for the smoke to dissipate, I asked Zhao Hu to light the dog oil lamp. The old rule cannot be thrown away. If you want to enter, you must light the dog oil lamp first.
Strangely, the dog oil lamp kept burning after being put in, indicating that there was nothing unusual about the air inside. This made me mutter: "Is there a place inside that is connected to the outside world? Can it be exposed to fresh air?"
Brother Lei couldn't wait any longer. He just put on a headlamp and started to drill through the hole: "Why do you care so much? If you're afraid of death, don't do this job. I'll go look for the treasure first. I'll pick it up later." Don't grab it from me."
When Jian Zui saw Brother Lei entering first, he hurriedly yelled: "Hey! Slow down, slow down. Didn't our commander-in-chief just say that there may be a mechanism inside, so be careful and die inside."
Of course, Jianzui reminded Brother Lei at this time that he was definitely not worried about him, but just afraid that he would go in and grab the good treasure first.
Seeing that Brother Lei had already gotten in, Jianzui looked at Zhao Hu and me and asked if we could go in.
Obviously he was in a hurry to get in and was afraid of danger inside.
Although he and Brother Lei are both money-grubbing and unreliable people, he is still a little less courageous than Brother Lei. Brother Lei is definitely the kind of person who will die for money and for food, but Sharp Mouth is more precious about his life. .
Xiaoye was still a little angry at this time and said: "You all pay attention to the commander-in-chief's words. If he lets you in, you can enter again. If he doesn't let you in, you are not allowed in."
